The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- UFC 300 ON NOW

I wonder if Nate is trying to get released from his contract. He missed the open workout, now he missed weight.
 
LMAO

Ariel was telling a story about Joe Riggs and how he shot himself through his hand and leg as he was trying to clean his gun. Apparently he thought he was going to die so he called over his son to tell him he loved him.

It was silent then all of a sudden military veteran Brian Stann says "no comment"

Despite buying Invicta's straw weight division, that division seems shallow.

Congrats to Carla. She was the favorite and managed to realize the potential.

That's what happens when your boyfriend is Pat Berry.
What the **** was Cruz thinking when he got his haircut? I'm not 100%, but he had a similar if not exact haircut on the last show too.

Wow. I knew he shot himself but didn't know he thought he was going to die. Weird to read that part of the story.

I like Rose but Carla was beasting with the wrestling. Would like to get taken down by her even with her rocking the big forehead.

I was watching fox sports 1 on Thrursday and was wonderinf what was up with Cruz's haircut. It looks like they only used clippers on the left side and left the right side alone. Like a 50% haircut. Everyone wanting to rock that side-part haircut.
 
Dana White on Nate Diaz

Welp, Diaz back to the scrap heaps even if he wins.. Would like to see a Cowboy Diaz rematch 

"He is complaining about the CM Punk deal. All he's been doing is complaining, not showing up for stuff, and now he doesn't make weight and he's four pounds over," White said. "I don't know what to do with him if he wins. There's a laundry list of problems there."

I feel like RDA is going to dominate Nate anyway

But damn, if Nate pulls this off I'll have no choice but to look at him as a top contender. So long as he shows he can keep RDA at a distance and handle his grappling

Would be a tough call between giving RDA or Khabib the next shot, but I'll wait for tonight

Excited for tonight 
 
The eye pokes last night were tough to watch. Heard the guy faber eye poked needs retina surgery.

The problems start with his pathetic $15k per fight salary. How can you expect a 7 or 8 year veteran (with 11 bonuses) to be content with his employer when he's getting paid next to nothing. This is absolutely pathetic on the part of the UFC and I side with Diaz 100% with regards to his dissent and behaviour. The UFC should just release the poor guy so he can go to Bellator and collect a decent check which he more than deserves.

I tend to agree with you but then again Diaz is the stupid idiot who signed the contract

I love the Diaz brothers as fighters, some of my favorite guys to watch for a while now so I'm torn on the situation 
 
Welp...

Report: Fighters' class-action lawsuit against UFC 'imminent' and could result in '$100s of millions' in damages

I guess in hindsight, we probably should have seen this coming.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) could soon find itself on the hot seat, as the ZUFFA-owned mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion is expected to be slapped with a class-action lawsuit from both current and former fighters, one that could return "hundreds of millions of dollars" in damages.

The suit will be based on accusations that the UFC has violated antitrust laws by abusing their "market power" to intentionally and systematically cripple the free market ... seeking damages for potentially hundreds of millions of dollars due to reduced fight purses, video game rights fees, and other sources of income.

According to our sources the fighters are represented by three or four large firms renowned for antitrust litigation. The firms named to us have won major class action antitrust cases against bigger targets than the UFC, including against those in the banking, credit, technology and pharmaceutical industries.

As one well known former fighter told us "These are major players. These are not people [the UFC] will be able to out-spend."

Can't blame this one on the culinary union.

UFC has long battled the public perception that it operates as a "monopoly," thanks in part to high-profile pieces from outlets like ESPN. It also didn't help that current fighters (like this future garbage man) were calling them onto the carpet for shady tactics.

Even as far back as 2008.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) informed the law firm of Axinn, Veltrop, and Harkrider, retained by ZUFFA to represent them during a 2012 inquiry (read it here), that it was closing its "monopoly" investigation into the world's largest fight promotion and that "no further action was warranted by the commission."

A lot has changed since then.

Including last month's Reebok deal ... which eliminates fighters' ability to secure outside sponsors. One top combatant has already felt the pinch, while another -- who fights later this evening -- has been crying foul for well over a year. Those cries fell on deaf ears.

Until now...

Stay tuned for more details on this pending lawsuit, which is likely to produce a list of names, some of which I'm sure will raise more than a few eyebrows.

Any guesses?

The replay definitely showed he hit his head on that takedown attempt.

Anik should get paid extra for trying to get in the middle of the Cormier and jones scuffle.
 
Totally forgot about these joints ... Great fight card but have to see show time when it comes on.

Ugh ...

That overeem vs struve has me intrigue ....
 
The Diaz brothers always be acting up man .. Dudes seem to have anger issues in real life man .. Lmao
